Passage one and Passage two are both about Florida’s Okefenokee Swamp‚ however they both have contrasting points of view. The author of Passage one is writing about the swamp as it is overall- in a disconnected sort of way- which is drastically different from Passage two which takes the reader right inside the swamp and shows the struggle of life that exists there. Thus‚ the authors of Passage one and Passage two‚ accomplish this task by an informative tone and formal diction in Passage one‚ versus

lower stream riparian states (Thailand‚ Laos‚ Cambodia‚ Vietnam and Myanmar) to experience deterioration in water quantity. The water available for them significantly decreases overtime. On top of that‚ water quality also deteriorates as the dams trap silt which may contribute to the pollution of the freshwater. Additionally‚ China’s construction of megadams have affected the river’s ecology and blocked fish migration‚ causing a decline in fisheries for the lower stream riparian states. To solve this

Colorado River to irrigate their crops. They decided that they would need to create two intake gorges without the use of floodgates. In came the California Development company and dredged the two gorges; but not long after‚ the intakes became clogged with silt deposits from the Colorado River and water stopped‚ creating the need for another intake gorge. But only a year later‚ in 1905‚ a miscalculation led to saline water flooding into the gorges‚ called the Salton Sinks‚ creating the present day Salton

the region was the end result of weathering and erosion from rivers of the nearby flat-early sedimentary rock. During the Paleozoic era‚ glacial erosion shaped the lakes into sedimentary rock. Withdrawing glaciers washed up large portions of sands‚ silts‚ and gravels as flat plains and rolling hills. Due to the Great Lakes‚ the climate is humid‚ the lakes provide the moisture in the air. The Great Lakes- Lawrence Lowlands is close to the equator which also makes the weather humid. Although it is uncommon

Environmental Chemistry Assignment 3: Acidity in natural water may be caused by several factors. Describe these factors and explain how they contribute to the acidity of water. The acidity in natural water can be caused by the bedrock and soil composition of the area around the stream. This factor can be considered as one of the most important factor that influence the pH of the water. Soils contain calcium‚ limestone and a layer of sand or gravel with a granite base. The calcium and limestone

The characteristics of a sandy shore at Pallarenda beach‚ Townsville‚ North Queensland. Introduction: The sandy shores of beaches can be considered as a very harsh environment to live in (Ted Klenk‚ 1999). Survival in such a habitat requires an organism to withstand strong wave and current action‚ tidal rise and fall‚ unstable substrate‚ heavy predation and wide variations in salinity and temperature (The Otter Island Project). Any organism found in this type of harsh environment is specialized

SPECIES DIVERSITY IN POOL AND RIFFLES OF A LOTIC TROPICAL SYSTEM Abstract This study looked at species adaptations to different substrate type‚ current velocity‚ dissolved oxygen and depth that allows for the specialized utilization of the microhabitats found and how this was responsible for similarities and differences in species diversity in pools and riffles. The riffle was seen as the more diverse mesohabitat. Of the 47 species found‚ the riffle had 37 of these organisms present. The
